>Description:
% telnet localhost
...
Trying SRA secure login:
User (myloginname): <-- EOF here gives next line
User (myloginname): Password: <-- any line here gives next 2 lines
[ SRA login failed ]
Password: User (myloginname): <-- any line here repeats the 2 lines
You have to wait for it to time out to exit.
Didn't telnet used to only allow a limited number of login attempts?
I had 435 with this and I think it stopped because it timed out not
because of a number of attempts limit.
>How-To-Repeat:
see above
